Transit Awareness Day on Monday

Monday, Grande Prairie Transit will be hosting free rides, giveaways and snacks for riders in support of Transit Awareness Day.

“This is the perfect opportunity for residents to experience the newest addition to the Transit fleet – the Vicinity bus, plus enjoy a range of fun activities and promotions,” a City press release noted.

All bus routes will be free of charge and riders will enjoy “pizza on board buses at select times and locations including Town Centre Mall”, “complimentary one-ride tickets distributed on some routes” and an opportunity to win prizes.

“Transit Awareness Day is a great way to recognize the importance of city transit services,” stated City of Grande Prairie transit manager Jason Henry, in a press release.

“Even if you are not a regular rider, I encourage everyone to consider taking transit to see our new Vicinity buses in action, and enjoy some perks on the day.”

Regularly scheduled transit service will be in place.

GP Transit is currently undergoing an extensive Transit Master Plan, which will be submitted to city council for adoption on Monday.
